Another thought ive had is Satans fall and when it happened. Some feel it was pre-adamic and caused the cataclysmic event that was the reason the earth was without form and void.

Right. That is one theory. I'm catching up on the history of events the Bible reveals so I cannot commit to that but it does make sense

Well its 6000 years or so of recorded history of the earth...I don't believe its millions of years older than that. Science cant prove millions of years. How do we record a year? Its the length of time the earth goes around the sun.

Radioactive dating relies on half life of radioactive decay, but get this, it wasn't always constant.

If earth is without form or void it just means nothing is in it - it's dead and its just one big mass. Then God starts shaping it.

Ok its like, you have paint, its in a can, there's no life to it until you start painting something! There are no forms, its in a tube or a can or on a palette, until you dip a paintbrush in it and start painting. The canvas is blank...the painter starts painting i.e moving the paint around in shapes and patterns they start CREATING.

How hard is that to picture.

I find it quite difficult to be honest. We do not have 6000 years of recorded history. . In fact, historians and anthropologists estimate that 95% to 99% of human history has been completely lost to time


The Bible does not have 6000 yrs of history in it either since the main reason we have that book, is to connect to our Creator and become aware of Him sending His Son to this earth.

You can't prove that the earth is only 6,000 years old either.
 
I am thinking that there is at least one 'leviathan' left in the world...

Isaiah 27:

1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Yes, That would be Satan.
He's the serpent of Genesis and the dragon of Revelation.

Well no, its just someone added up the lineages of all the people the Bible mentioned from Adam and Eve, as it does list their ages, and came to that conclusion. We do know how old Jewish history is, as their years go back to around 6000 (not exactly) while us Christians count from around the time of Jesus birth (AD - now up to 2026)
Other civilisations, that are around today also count around that number of 6000 (estimate) Eg Chinese. Both Hebrew and Chinese kept meticulous records of their ancestors and calendar years and they are preserved right up to the present day.

The oldest trees, are around 6000 years, as estimated, and of course you can count the rings of the ones cut down. The oldest of those are around 5000 or so. The Olive trees that were there in Jesus time are still living today.
As you recall in the Bible trees are very important in Genesis. Trees are also mentioned in Revelation.

Ok Jewish calendar is year 5786.
I say 6000 as an estimate, as who knows how many leap years or some such. A year is the length of time the earth goes around the sun in it's orbit. A day is from the time the sun comes up to the time the sun goes down, and a night is from sunset to dawn, and added together they come to 24 hours.

It's very easy to understand, you don't need to make things complicated by speculating about things that happened before God created the universe. It is not for us to know, even though some people like to imagine other things, and then interpret things to claim otherwise. They weren't there, it wasn't recorded, it didn't happen like they imagined. Fossils are made by compressed sedimentary rocks, which got that way because of a huge event i.e flood.
 
Noah would have kept the records of his ancestors on the ark, that is how we know about who came before him. Of course all other records would have been destroyed in the flood. And the story of Noah is prevalent in many civilisations. Not just the Hebrews (now Jews) history.

Right when you are so good at making things speculative while proving you know nothing at all about which you try to sound as if you do

Me? nah....I just don't think you need support for your nonsense

Funny how a conversation about a theory can bring out such venom.

well was it that or my lack of being able to pretend it's all good? maybe if I type with one hand, the response will be slower and
I might have time to rethink my answer since it will make no difference whatsoever to the recipient? I wonder what it's like to be that unbothered by facts. Then again, much of the world is in alignment

In other news, how is everyone doing with the new golden age? I find it feels more like the iron age. I'm sure there is a not too small cabin or stone cottage in clearing in the deep woods with my name on it...
